Solve Antarctica’s sea-ice puzzle
20 Jul 2017In a Nature Comment out today (20 July 2017), John Turner, Chair of SCAR’s Antarctic Climate Change and Environment Expert Group, and colleague Josefino Comiso “call… -
A recent article in Nature has demonstrated the dominant role of ocean forcing in driving West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) deglaciation. The evidence presented demonstrates this control… -
A recent study has demonstrated that including consideration of the radiative effects of falling snow can improve simulations of Antarctic sea-ice. These improvements can increase confidence in… -
A recent research article in Nature has quantified the impact of twenty-first century climate change on ice-free areas of Antarctica, using two climate forcing scenarios. Under the… -
A new study has investigated the levels of whole-body vibration exposure associated with open water and ice passage of a Polar Supply and Research Vessel. The authors… -
A recent report in Nature has presented evidence for a link between an extended period of surface melt on the Ross Rea sector of the… -
The 2016 SCAR Weypecht Lecturer, Prof Christina Hulbe, has recently published a Perspectives article in Science on the current understanding around the likelihood of a collapse in… -
A team from the School of Geosciences, University of Edinburgh, has identified 138 volcanoes, 91 of which were newly identified, under the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS).… -
A retrospective review of the impact of extended darkness on overwinterers in Antarctica prior to 2003
05 Jun 2017A recent retrospective review of the effect of extended periods of daylight and darkness on those living at the British Antarctic Survey operated Halley Research Station prior to 2003 has been published.… -
In a recent publication by Amesbury et al. it has been found that biological activity at three sites on the Antarctic Peninsula has increased significantly in the… -
In a recent publication, Daniel García-Fernández and colleagues have used measurements from a balloon-borne antenna array to produce a cosmic ray flux spectrum. For the first… -
In the first winter research voyage into the Ross Sea in nearly 20 years a 2-month expedition left Lyttelton, New Zealand on April 10th. The Polynyas,…
